All of the courses and programmes we run at Shannon Academy of English are designed with the specific needs of the students in mind.

At Shannon Academy of English, language classes are small – a maximum of fifteen students per class – and all teachers hold the internationally and well-recognised Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification.

We firmly believe in providing the student with the ability to assess their own level of English and map out a personal plan to advance to the next level.

At all times, we aim to balance learning and fun in the classroom and to provide interesting activities and cultural experiences.

All our students are placed with kind and welcoming host families or, in some cases, in high-quality, self-catering accommodation.

We have an open-door policy for all staff, families, students and companies and are available 24/7.
